A/N: Hello minna! Thank you so so much for the reviews and the support, I really appreciate that, and thanks to the constructive criticism, they helped me a lot. I hope the next chapters are better

Thank you, and let's go to the chapter.

Disclaimer: do not own Naruto, because if I did Itachi would be alive and kicking ass.

Alissa's Pov:

"So much hope… wasted!" I yelled as yet again, another spell from my journal failed miserably.

'The Hell am I doing wrong?!'

I was angry. No, angry is too simple to describe what I was feeling right now. I was royally pissed off.

How could I help Pein, if none of these damn spells work? How am I going to survive this shit? Because I sure as Hell am not a shinobi. And I don't wanna die a terrible death thank you very much.

But nothing is working out, nothing! All hope I had vanished just like Dungeon Master vanishes when you need him the most, and it was making me more and more anxious. Because if nothing worked, how am I here? Where is the logic in this situation?

I was so frustrated that I just fell face first on the bed that was on the room Pein gave me. My face was buried deep on the plushy pillow, so much that it was hard breathing.

I haven't realized how tired I was until sleep came. My lids became heavy and all I wanted was some hours of sleep, then I can think of a way out off this situation. Right now, I just wanted the darkness to come and bring me rest.

But rest never came, instead I woke up on a flowery field. There were all kinds of flowers there, among cherry blossom trees all over the place in full bloom.

'How pretty.'

"I'm happy that you liked. I was afraid it was too much." Came a soft feminine voice behind me.

When I turned, there was a pretty lady looking at me with fondness in her eyes. Soft grayish blue eyes that were so familiar that my heart was now aching.

"Mom?" my voice was weird to my own ears, my breath was caught in my throat and I could feel the oh so familiar burn of the tears swelling on my eyes.

Memories of the car crash came full force on my mind.

Before I could do anything, my feet started moving. And soon enough, I was on the embrace that I missed so much.

The tears now fell from my eyes freely as the same warmth engulfed me, just like when I was a little girl.

"Shh, it's okay now, I'm here Lissa. I'm here for you." God how much I missed her voice, her sweet, sweet voice that used to sing me to sleep every night. The voice that would scold me when I broke a pretty vase, the voice that was always there when I was hurt.

"How…?" I didn't even need to say what I was thinking, my mom already knew the question.

"You are dreaming my angel. But everything that I'm going to tell you is pretty much real. It was the only way that I was able to talk to you."

"Talk about what?" damn I was so confused right now. I am dreaming, but at the same time it was real… my mind was so conflicted right now that I didn't even have words to ask the so many questions that were on my mind.

"First of all, you need to know that what I'm about to tell you is of extreme importance, all your questions will be answered later." Her face and voice now held a hard seriousness that used to scare me when I was a child. It still scared me so all I could do was nod in agreement and wait for her words.

"You must have noticed by now that something is happening." Again, another nod. "What I will tell you is not easy to believe, but you my dear, is a guardian."

"Guardian? Like the Guardians of the galaxy?"

"What…? Okay. To put into simple words, you are what people call a witch, but we call ourselves guardians." She took a deep breath and kept going. "It's hard to explain and we don't have much time, but you need to know that a long time ago, one of our ancestors helped an ancient cosmic being in need and as a thanks for the help, he gave her powers at one single condition. To keep helping and protecting others-"

"Like a guardian angel." I finished for her and as I said it, her eyes softened and she gave me a nod.

"Yeah, just like a guardian angel. All these years our family kept this secret, helping where we were needed the most, and our wisdom was always helpful for the next generation. However, you were way too young when your father and I died. Unfortunately you had no one to help you awake your powers."

"So that's why it worked when I tried that ritual? My… powers awakened?" I'm officially going insane.

"Yeah, the ritual was not the thing that brought you here, it was the need to help and protect."

"Okay, I understand this whole guardian thing, but wouldn't I be more helpful on the real world and not a fictional one?" that was the one million dollar question here.

"This world is not fictional Liss, nothing is. Everything that you grew up thinking that were fairy tales, are pretty much real. Every world, every universe has a link. Everything created on your world is somehow a link that was made." Her voice was so tender, so calm. It was as if I was a child again.

"So you are telling me, that Kishimoto had a link with the real Naruto universe and created the manga?" man I could feel the migraine coming. Too much information for such a short time.

"Exactly, but don't worry right now. You have to know that the world where you are is real, and it's connected to your own world and so much more. If something happens here, all the other worlds will be on the line of danger. You need to guard this world, my angel." She said holding my hands on her warm soft ones, there was a look in her eyes that… I just couldn't say no to her.

"What should I do mom? This world is dangerous and I'm so weak." At this, I could see her eyes harden and the softness was gone, those gray blue orbs now resembled a furious storm.

"Don't you dare say you are weak, your strength is greater than you can possibly think. Your mind and your heart are the keys to your powers, train hard and you'll be able of greatness."

"How can you be so sure?" my voice was so small, so scared, I didn't want to disappoint my mom, specially if there is something so big on my shoulders right now.

"You are my daughter, my flesh and blood, you can do it, I know you can. Just remember, where there is darkness there is always light. And if you ever feel alone and scared, look at the stars. Me and all the guardians before us will be there, looking out for you." Her voice was growing distant, and the scenario around us was slowly turning into a dark void.

"Mom? Mom! Please don't go!" I begged, tears rolling down my eyes once again, but it was too late. She was already disappearing.

"Remember Alissa, the stars are looking for you, and don't ever forget that I love you with all my heart."

I woke up with a start. Tear stains on my cheeks. My heart was frenetic on my rib cage, like it was going to explode out of my chest at any moment. My head was spinning with all the information I've got, but now I know something for real.

'I have to train.'
